A year of scientific uncertainty is over. Two vaccines look like they will work, and more should follow.
Blood samples from recovered patients suggest a powerful, long-lasting immune response, researchers reported.
Immunity to the novel coronavirus may last eight months or longer, according to a new study authored by respected scientists at leading labs, which found that individuals who recovered from the coronavirus developed “robust” levels of B cells and T cells (necessary for fighting off the virus) and “these cells may persist in the body for a very, very long time.”

The body’s immune system is immensely intricate. A new study released in the UK is causing a stir because of what it says about possible limits to our immunity to COVID-19. Dr. Alessandro Sette talks with The World’s Marco Werman about what the study’s results mean for the possibility of a strong coronavirus vaccine.

“Over the years, we’ve figured out various ways to do good in the world.”
David Anderson was looking for ways to support research at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) long before the COVID-19
